Abstract
Evidence suggesting intraspecific brood parasitism in the Baya Weaverbird Ploceus philippinus was recorded in two of 45 nests that were marked for daily observations. Two laying females whose nests were lost to predation probably laid in the neighbouring nests, and thus behaved as intraspecific brood parasites.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
